Chicago’s downtown art often leaves a lot to be desired. While February’s Hearts a Bluhm campaign was for a good cause (heart health), most of the 20 or so pieces I walked by were either commercial or trite—or both.

Only three piqued my interested enough to make me stop and look at them more closely … and, in theory, to read the health facts. Yet somehow I missed those until I was walking away (and they didn’t tell me anything I didn’t already know).
